“Next US president” is a hopeful prognostication. Trump seems intent on crashing the US economy into the side of a mountain

I heard a lot of conspiracy theories by now, that frankly portray mostly the same concepts in a pretty convincing manner, that say that this is exactly what they want to happen. And that's pretty damn scary.

Basically a new world order where everyone is poor and the billionaires control the world as the new monarchs. They take the world not by violence but by systematically destroying the world economy and having enormous amounts of money themselves.

Pretty freaking scary if true, because all the steps are apparently working splendidly.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
